Canoe Adventures

Canoe Adventures offer guided canoeing in Voyager 12-seat canoes from beside the friendly Maltsters Arms at Tuckenhay between Totnes and Dartmouth in the green South Hams of South Devon where runs the glorious River Dart.

Voyager canoes happily embark small children and adult novices, as well as suiting bold adventurers.

The youngest guest-crew so far was little Sarah, then 12 days old. The eldest was Mr George, 87.

Each Voyager canoe comes with steeersman, skills, bouyancy, paddles, picnic mats, flint and steel campfire brazier, bbq kit when required, quick-rig basha shelter, tea coffee and hotchoc.

Trips go out on the River Dart for 4 to 5 hours over the turn of a tide, using the tide as engine. Everyone is invited to bring their favourite picnics. Picnic and bbq stops are made at the side of the river. A stop for ice creams is not far away. Moonlight tides offer the chance to dine ashore along the river. Sharpham Winery by canoe is another favourite.

Occasional trips go from Noss Mayo on the River Yealm, South Ham’s hidden jewel.

Crews include Guides, Scouts, schools, families, friends, birthdays, hens, stags, corporates, doctors, nurses, artists, poets, professors, military, even a lifeboat crew.

Families can book By-the-Seat. Big groups can book By-the-Boat. Detailed info is a phonecall away on 01803 865301.
